NSK Trade City

NSK is a hypermarket like Giant and Tesco and recently there was a big hype about it mainly because of cheap the things are. The main reason why its thins are cheap is because its bought and sold in bulk. NSK is the perfect places for people in the F&B business especially because of the cheap price and the big quantity that you can get. Being said that, it is also suitable for regular shopper like you and I. Even though we dont buy in bulk, the prices are very much cheaper compared to local supermarkets and hypermarkets. The only thing I dont like about NSK is that people are always shouting at each other and fight to buy things. Ever since i experienced that, I never went back there again. Also, in my opinion I feel that the seafood is not so fresh so if my mom goes there to get groceries, we only buy vegetable as they are quite fresh and cheap. Good hypermarket to go to if you’re either buying in bulk or looking for cheaper prices :)

NSK is similar to carrefour and giant except that its way bigger and wayy cheaper. Like for meat, you can get a wide selection of different meats for a fraction of the price anywhere else. everything else is cheap too, but its usually just everyday items, very rarely can you find imported items being sold here.
Parking here is easy as there is ample space, but the queue at checkouts can get pretty long and annoying as the checkout people aren’t very efficient and tend to move slowly although the can see that the line is clearly growing.

Checking here to buy some groceries and NSK is the place for wholesale price as well as fresh vegetables and meat. There are three dedicated section for supermarket, wholesaler as well as non halal section.
Interestingly this place is crowded almost everyday and if you want to avoid the crowd, you should come here during the non peak period. Parking is plenty here an it is free for the first two hours, otherwise subsequent hours is charged RM1 per hour.
I like coming here because the price is extremely competitive and it’s always a bargain for me. These days with a higher standard living, we gotta learn how to save our pennies and every cent counts!
If you are a member there are more bargains and it is always recommended to join them for more bargains :)

I consider myself pretty lucky to be living close to NSK trade city. Every weekend for 2 hours you’ll find me squeezing my way through crowds of people and rummaging through aisles to get my groceries done for the following week.
This place is awesome mainly because getting groceries from here will cut your spend in half as compared to shopping at a chain grocery store like Cold Storage.
It does come at a «price» too though. Being a massive bargain place, you will find all sorts of people in particular people who push and shove around. You will have to be able to tolerate crowds and rude behaviour ESPECIALLY if you’re doing your shopping on the weekend which is the only time I have to get groceries done since I work full time.
Vegetables in particular are dirt cheap and we are talking about a huge bunch of bok choys for 2RM, 5 large carrots for 2RM and 6 large juicy red tomatoes for 2.50RM. Just be mentally prepared to push through the crowd — at the end of each NSK trip I always feel like I’ve just gotten out of a battlefield. Haha!

This is my FAVORITE place to shop when it comes to buying things in bulks.
It is super inexpensive, especially the fruits and vegetables.
Though some of their produce may not be as fresh as I’d hope for, but it’s perfect for those who cook frequently. It is also a convenience for those who own a restaurant where cooks could get their daily supply of produce for their dishes.
Also, a majority of the items sold here — such as kitchenware, toiletries and what not, are much cheaper than most convenience stores out there,

NSK Trade City took Kuchai Lama and the surrounding area by storm as it is the only 24 hours operating supermarket.
Located close to the business district of Kuchai Lama, NSK is hard to miss with huge sign boards and arrows guiding you all the way.
Parking is not an issue as they do have a huge parking spot, just drive all the way to the back and it shouldn’t take more than 3 minutes to get your car parked and be on your way to getting groceries.
Walking into the mall, you will be surprised to see the difference in trolley, there is the Non Halal trolley and the Halal trolley. This is because NSK sells pork meat openly so it’s to ensure that there are no complications when it comes to the Halal manner.
Also, you will notice that this place is a war-​zone among the elderly. I call them crazy aunties as they fight and scream at each other for no reason, not forgetting the reckless «driving» skills when it comes to their trolleys.
Shopping here can be frustrating because of the atmosphere; it is always crowded and stuffy. Thankfully they have efficient checkout counters that compensates for all the madness. NSK also has a wholesale section if you are looking to get good deals in bulks.
Prices of goods here are selectively cheaper than other supermarkets, but they do ensure the freshest quality of meat and vegetables.

The largest and most complete Asian supermarket I have ever had the pleasure of shopping at. It is opened 24 hours, so one can shop here even in the wee hours of the morning. There is an extremely large section selling fresh chicken, fish, beef and vegetables. Here, you can find any fresh green veges (some of which I cannot even name) in abundance. The price are really cheap too.
Of particular interest is a section dedicated to pork meat and any other pork related products as well as non halal products from overseas. NSK has hands down the best char siew and siew yuk which are ready made and you can buy in styrofoam trays. Their char siew is really soft and fatty enough to be quite a treat.
Another part that is useful is definitely their clothing department. This section is sadly not opened 24 hours but they do carry plus sized Jeans for both men and women at prices lower than RM50. Therefore, those with waist sizes above 35 – 40 plus inches will easily find plenty of options here.

One of the best places to do groceries because most things here are cheaper than a lot of other places. Especially their fresh produce, vegetables, fruits, fishes, a lot of variety and is all so low-​priced! I normally come here for the above mentioned items :) Vegetables are sold loose or in bulk, and apparently they have membership pricings, you can collect points too. Fishes here are fresh and plenty, I learn that many come here for that. For the dry items, not all are necessarily cheaper, but they are definitely not priced above average.
It is somewhat of a dry come wet supermarket, so do expect to get your hands and shoes a little stained here and there but it has never been a problem for me. I think it’s a great place for people of all communities to shop for either family or business.
There is often plenty of people, but because it is so big I don’t have problem with getting parking or trolleys, maybe just the lining up part. But I recently discovered that if you are getting Non-​halal items, you pay at a different section and the crowd there is a lot lesser!

NSK is the supermarket that I will go only if I have to. The first time going to NSK Trade City was with Danny. I guess the reason why we went there was because we wanted to buy some materials to make our breakfast the next day. But then, since we always go to Aeon, Tesco and so on, we decided to go other supermarket that we never been to.
NSK is located at Kuchai Lama, we considered it is near our home, 10 minutes drive without any traffic jam. There has very big parking slot. We got lost when going into it because it is so big. I thought it would be same as the display in the supermarket I went before, but I was wrong. It seems like a wholesale warehouse. Another reason I linked NSK with wholesale warehouse because I saw customers here normally grab the same thing in big amount. For example, a lady put more than 10 bags of rice into the trolley. I was shocked and I don’t think a family can eat these 10 bags in a month? And I guess your mum won’t go back to home with 10 bags of rice, even though she might tell you XXX is on sale! It is totally insane.
Okay, back to the point, I remembered I wanted to find chicken ham at NSK. Guess what? I only managed to find their own brand, which is frozen type. I actually wanted to get the fresh one which you can choose to get few grams. I asked the staffs and they told me they only sell that one. I have no choice but to take that in the end. I can’t imagine a big supermarket only sell one brand?
Overall, I personally think that NSK isn’t a supermarket that is suitable for family. But, if you are a restaurant owner and you want to buy stock for your restaurant, you can consider to buy at NSK. Some products are quite cheap compared to other supermarket.

One of the supermarkets that makes me carry big smile on my face throughout my groceries session — the vegetables and fruits here are unbelievably cheap!
Known to be a spot for retailers as well, nsk is well known for selling their products in bulk. Thus, the cheap price benefit extend to us independent customers as well! And because their stocks go out pretty quickly, freshness is guaranteed too.
And please don’t be surprised if you see the crowd here even at 1 am. This branch does open ²⁴⁄₇ literally.
So, it also makes it a good spot to visit during the wee hours while you can’t sleep — especially for someone like me who always find pleasure in doing groceries shopping.
Their car park is foc for the first two hours, which is pretty enough for groceries shopping, unless you’re buying for a family of 20 members?
Recommended to get their member card too if you’re a frequenter here, you’ll get special priced items every month!
